You can band with all the other heretics and go straight to Magic jail.

From what I understand, HG wasn't involved in that kinda stuff anymore in the early 90s so Macross II and Plus slipped by under the radar. Then presumably after Plus became a hit, they decided to step in and make demands, leading to things like VF-X2's US release being canceled.

Gotta love that even the promotional materials of that era recognized the power of the Akira Slide.

It sounds like the narrator is saying "coming this Christmas" but the audio is a bit rough.

Ham is so boring when he could've instead enjoyed a nice can of Space Adventure Cobra coffee.

I haven't seen it since it aired so I don't know if it holds up, but at the time I remember enjoying One Piece's Ice Hunter arc and thinking that it didn't feel like previous fillers.

I'm still bothered that Netflix never released Daredevil S3 on Blu-ray and that Disney doesn't seem to care either.

Production order is generally advisable, but it's not gonna always work. Some people just aren't gonna watch old anime like MSG or SDF Macross and then you've gotta figure out what's palatable to them.

As I keep saying, IP owners need to learn to start behaving more like farmers who plan for the long term and who know when to rotate crops & let the soil fall fallow, rather than greedy robber barons who relentlessly stripmine until there’s nothing left and the whole thing collapses.

We've still got people saying "Gundam Origins" and "Gundam OO" so unfortunately some of these things will never go away.

I have no memory of you using that term outside of that manga. But I definitely remember fans using "Gundam 0079" at the time, mainly to differentiate from 0080 and 0083.

And that's what everyone said after the AT&T merger. All these mergers are bad and nothing good ever comes of them.

Feels like something straight out of S1-2.

I've enjoyed all your BTAS commentary so far and am hyped for that book. I would love it if someone (ideally you, nudge nudge) could one day write a definitive history of Gargoyles. It definitely deserves its own book.

It's not a certainty that this will happen. You're just conceding in advance and deceiving yourself into thinking some inconsequential thing is an upside to a terrible situation.

No, this is dumb. All corporate consolidation of this level is bad and should not happen at all. Stop trying to find an upside because there isn't one.
